DeSantis’ policy: Deport all illegal immigrants who entered under Biden, empower states.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Vows to Take Action on Illegal Immigration
Florida Governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has a bold strategy for addressing the issue of illegal immigrants if he becomes president. His plan is to start by deporting every illegal immigrant who entered the country under President Joe Biden’s administration, and he also wants to empower states to participate in the removal process.
DeSantis made this promise while speaking in California, emphasizing the need to send back all those who entered illegally during Biden’s term. He estimated that this would involve around six or seven million people, and he stressed the importance of enforcing the law and securing the border.
DESANTIS: “Everyone that has come illegally under Biden” will be deported.
“That’s going to be the first priority. That’s probably 6 or 7 million people right there.”

Recent data has shown that the Biden administration released at least two million illegal aliens into the U.S. last spring, not including those who evaded authorities. The number of illegal border crossings has continued to rise, with over a quarter of a million encounters at the Southwest border in September alone.
Considering these numbers, it is estimated that by the end of Biden’s term, there could be around five or six million illegal immigrants in the country. While former President Donald Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, also campaigned on deportation raids, DeSantis pointed out that Trump did not fulfill those promises during his first term.

DeSantis plans to give states the authority to remove illegal aliens, making them equal partners in enforcing immigration law. He believes that states like Texas should have the power to send back those who cross the border illegally.
While DeSantis’ approach is commendable, it is important to note that the Trump administration faced numerous lawsuits that hindered their efforts to enforce immigration policies. If DeSantis becomes president, he will likely face similar legal challenges.
Before he can implement his plans, DeSantis needs to win the GOP primary, where current national and state polls suggest that Trump is the frontrunner. However, regardless of who secures the nomination, DeSantis’ deportation policies should be considered and adopted.

DeSantis is known for his strong stance on illegal immigration, and this vow to take action aligns with his previous statements and policies. As governor of Florida, he has implemented tough immigration laws and has taken steps to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The issue of illegal immigration has long been a contentious topic in the United States, and it has become even more pronounced in recent years. Immigration policies have been a major point of contention between Republicans and Democrats, with both sides offering differing solutions and approaches.
DeSantis’s promise to deport every illegal immigrant who entered the country under President Biden’s administration speaks to the concerns and frustrations of many conservatives. They argue that the Biden administration’s perceived lax immigration policies have led to an influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border.
Critics of DeSantis’s plan argue that mass deportations would not only be logistically challenging but also morally questionable. They argue that a more comprehensive and humane approach to immigration is needed, one that addresses the root causes and provides a path to legal status for those already in the country.
The debate surrounding immigration is deeply complex, and finding a solution that satisfies all parties involved is no easy task. However, DeSantis’s vow to take action on illegal immigration resonates with many conservatives who feel strongly about securing the borders and enforcing immigration laws.
It remains to be seen whether DeSantis will have the opportunity to fulfill this promise if he becomes president. Immigration policies require a coordinated effort between the federal government, states, and other stakeholders, making it a formidable challenge for any administration.
Regardless of the outcome, DeSantis’s stance on illegal immigration serves as a rallying cry for conservatives who believe in strict border security and enforcing immigration laws. With the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, the issue of immigration will likely continue to be at the forefront of political discourse.
As the election cycle progresses, it will be interesting to see how candidates from both parties address this complex and contentious issue and propose solutions that balance national security concerns with humanitarian considerations.
